Hard Times

Hard times but I won't let that shit stress me out
I need some better days, I been staying at my granny house
My pops been threatening to put me out cause he won't hear me out
Can't do no nine-five
I been trying to find another route
I'm punching on these beats, now all my people call me Manny now
I'm staying to myself, ain't even talking to my family now
I'm focused on my future, I can see me at the Grammys now
I know I'm underrated, ima make it, that's my only vow
Then I'm gone be the one that's gone be giving all the hand me downs
And you gone be the one that's gone be looking for a hand out
I'm focused on the mission I ain't worried bout no damn clout
I miss my Uncle
Unc I'm sorry I couldn't help you out
If I knew you was struggling, would've moved you in and took the couch
Better yet, if I was up, moved you out and bought a house
That's why I'm steady dropping cause I know that rap can get us out

Told myself that I'm gone speak right from the heart until my mind drained
It seem like everybody showing love be playing mind games
I carry all this hurt on right on my back, now I got spine pain
Stood tall and beat the odds I feel like I'm LeBron James

They say that all I spit is real, I'm feeling like I'm Rod Wave
You hear that Do?

I used to have a heart full of love, now I don't wanna try
Used to contemplate suicide, now I don't wanna die
Reaper creeping (Fye, fye)
I sent him to the sky
Was close to death, but made it now I'm focused had to say goodbye

Somehow I put my thoughts up on a beat and they all hear me now
Anyone that's messing with my peace, can't let 'em near me now

Know that I'm having hard times, won't let 'em wear me down
Just filling up these hard drives tell 'em look at me now
Gone put me in the archives, said that's my only vow
I do this for the hard times, so I can't let me down

Know that I'm having hard times, won't let 'em wear me down
Just filling up these hard drives tell 'em look at me now
Gone put me in the archives, said that's my only vow
I do this for the hard times, so I can't let me down

Hard times but I won't let that shit stress me out
I need some better days, I been staying at my granny house
My pops been threatening to put me out cause he won't hear me out
Can't do no nine-five
I been trying to find another route
I'm punching on these beats, now all my people call me Manny now
I'm staying to myself, ain't even talking to my family now
I'm focused on my future, I can see me at the Grammys now
I know I'm underrated, ima make it, that's my only vow
Then I'm gone be the one that's gone be giving all the hand me downs
And you gone be the one that's gone be looking for a hand out
I'm focused on the mission I ain't worried bout no damn clout
I miss my Uncle
Unc I'm sorry I couldn't help you out
If I knew you was struggling, would've moved you in and took the couch
Better yet, if I was up, moved you out and bought a house
That's why I'm steady dropping cause I know that rap can get us out
That's why I'm steady dropping cause I know that rap can get us out

Know that I'm having hard times, won't let em wear me down
Just filling up these hard drives tell 'em look at me now
Gone put me in the archives, said that's my only vow
I do this for the hard times, so I can't let me down
